The 'find' command prints all jpg's stored in /your/directory recursively, and tar's magical --files-from option will read the files from '-', signifying stdin, and tar them. I find this particularly useful because rsync also has a --files-from option, so I have to remember only one file-specifying command. Furthermore, 'find' is more powerful than tar or rsync's file specifying abilities.
